It is rare for me to be in a situation where almost all the subject matter is new. New acronyms, new names, unfamiliar concepts and practices. What are: Discord, upvote, dolphin, curation projects, power up etc.? It was wonderful. I understood all the words, but not in that particular order...

Looking forward to the next one, and maybe some smaller local meetings too.
